we used duplicolor for the panels in our regal and had no problem with rubbing off. So far but also most of the things we painted are in good positions so they don't have anything constantly rubbing on them.sigpicAnd another thing.....when I gun the motor, I want the whole world to think it's coming to an end.

Like Matt said, I'm using Dupli-Color High Performance Vinyl & Fabric Coating. The color is Gloss Black. I washed all the parts with soap and water, and then just water. To prep it I just used some Rubbing Alcohol. Thanks for the compliments on it, I also think it looks way better than original. Especially since the original is all faded different shades. That gay color by the way is "Camel"

I won't get the whole interior done for awhile. Carpet, Head Liner, and Seats won't come until I get out of school and start working. There is some generic shit carpet that's covering up the original, it too is camel tan. For the front seats I have some black and grey seat covers going on them. Here's some pics of the interior right now for the most part. Console is black now though, as you already know.

That's the back seat. Carpet is orignal i pulled generic off.

There's the orignal carpet in its many shades.

There you can see the generic over the original(Along with a gagillion wires)

Got the barn all fumed up today. I got everything out of my interior except for the headliner, dash, and kick panels (b/c i dont know how to get out). So here's some more before and after pics.

(That's blue by the way)

haven't doen much to it lately, been too cold. I got the dash out and dyed it. Need to order new carpet & a headliner, dye the door panels, kick panels, & maybe back seat, and then put her all back together.

what are you using to die that gold? im planning on changing mine soon from gold to black... what brand did you use... thats comming out really clean and id rather die mine then rip it out and try to put grey in its place... nothing fits better than what comes with it...Originally posted by Frank The TankTook the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But it's not exactly street legal, so keep it on the down low.
